Over at Daisy Yellow (have we guessed that this *may* be my favorite place in my art world???), Tammy has a weekly art journal prompts that consists of 6 things to include somehow in your art journal page. The last couple of weeks have been a bit "different" for me. When my routine with snow days in April, birthday and a last minute trip up north I haven't sat down like I usually do and devote the time I usually do for this creative exercise. When I do get upstairs I tend to sit at the sewing machine for a few minutes instead of at my table with my journals. Just a mood I suppose! But I said to myself...."Self, get it together Lets get this weeks prompt 6 DONE" So that is just what I did! I decided to keep it pretty simple.
No major texture or collage treatments on this. Just a bit of alcohol ink, watercolor, pen and willow charcoal (new toy I love but have decided it definitely needs a fixative-it is on the wish list) Simple. That is what I am feeling like lately. I like my simple life, my simple routines, my simple pleasures. Why have so much clutter? Which brings me to a promise I made in the last post, to show the newly cleaned studio space. I forgot to take pictures so I will have to post it *next* time. I will, I promise promise promise! Loves to all!

I love willow charcoal too. If you have hairspray you can use that as a fixative.
